February 6, 2006

All the userbox debates have resulted in either keep or no consensus save for where they have already been deleted. I really cannot be bothered to go tagging the debates and de-tagging the templates. If someone wants that done, they can go hassle the nominators who should have learnt by now not to waste their time and that of other editors and admins on this. -Splash^talk 00:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User-AmE-0

Template:User-AmE-0 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This is essentially a duplicate of Template:User AmE-0, plus it doesn't conform to the naming conventions for userbox templates. I've tried changing it into a redirect, but got reverted. User:Djr xi seems to think that we need both Template:User AmE-0 and Template:User-AmE-0. I think this is silly, and will argue for delete (fork, superfluous, non-conforming), but would settle for merge and redirect. If you vote "merge and redirect", please clarify what kind of merging should be done, if any. If you want to argue that both versions should be kept and maintained separately, please say so explicitly. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 23:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User Derek Gardner

Template:User Derek Gardner (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Vanity, no credible assertion of notability. If this was an article, it would have been speedy-deleted already. We don't even have an article about Derek Gardner. It's one thing to try to re-create the entire contents of the article namespace in the template namespace (after all, for each person in history, some users may think that person was a genius), but when it comes to non-existant articles we have to draw the line. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 03:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User alphabetical categories

Template:User alphabetical categories (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Confusing template which creates the misleading appearance that mandatory alphabetical sorting is an official style guideline. At the very least, it should be reworded to say that the person including this template generally sorts things in a certain way. Individual editors have no standing to "insist" that things be done a certain way, unless there is a guideline that says so. But even for a suitably amended template, I have to ask, what's the point? I'd much rather see an essay on a user page that discusses the pros and cons of doing things a certain way. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 03:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
